This giveaway is closed. The overall random winner is Katie from Mommy Katie and the Nashville area winner is Wendi who commented, “I am in Nashville. My 7 year old daughter has Celiac Disease. She is an advocate for herself and others when it comes to Celiac awareness. During the recent Nashville flood, she baked gluten free food for families that were displaced and unable to prepare their own food. She also helped me with laundry of flood victims. Each bag of clean clothes we returned, she put a picture she had colored and a toy of her own on top to cheer another child up. All 3 of our children have been such great community volunteers during this time. They are so selfless. We were already proud of them.
Looking for the American Girl doll giveaway? You’re in the right place! Please see contest details at the end of this post and thanks for visiting my blog.
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’m so excited to be partnering with American Girl to help spread the news about their new charitable initiative, Shine On Now! My 8-year-old daughter, Miss C, is especially crazy about American Girl.
Starting today, July 13, girls can donate up to 100 free “stars” a day to help American Girl reach its goal of collecting one million stars by the end of July. The donated “stars” help the National Wildlife Federation, Kids in Distressed Situations, Save the Children, and the National Association of Children’s Hospitals. If the goal of one million stars is met, American Girl will donate $1 million in clothes, books, dolls, and money to these four charities.
Girls can also sign up to become official American Girl Ambassadors at Shine On Now. They will receive a free, downloadable tool kit filled with fun tips and ideas for volunteering and making a difference in their community. American Girl is also launching a new online destination for girls: Innerstar University. This safe virtual world has games, quizzes, and other activities designed to help boost girls’ confidence. They can also explore this new online destination with their My American Girl doll, a new line of 18-inch contemporary dolls.
To celebrate the launch of Shine On Now, I’m giving away two My American Girl dolls! The My American Girl line allows girls to create a special doll as unique as they are through a new, innovative online tool, that enables them to choose everything from hair color to braces so that their doll will reflect their beauty and special traits.
Enter to win a My American Girl Doll:
Simply leave a comment on this post about a deserving girl who makes a difference in her community. I’ll be giving away a doll to an overall U.S. winner and one to a Nashville area winner so please specify in your comment if you are from Nashville. Two winners will be randomly selected from all eligible comments left by midnight Saturday, July 31. Winner has 48 hours to respond to my tweets or emails notifying them of their win; otherwise, an alternate winner will be selected. I will update this post with the winners’ names after July 31 once I confirm their information.

Disclosure: I received no monetary compensation for my work in announcing the Shine On Now initiative. American Girl provided me with two My American Girl dolls, both of which I am giving away. They are also donating 1,000 stars to the Shine On Now initiative in my name.
This would make a perfect Christmas present for my niece (a former Nashville resident, LOL!)...wonderful giveaway!
I’m in Cincinnati, which is just a day’s drive away from Nashville!
Doesn’t that make me Nashville “area”?
I’d love to give this to my 6 year old niece. After wanting a REAL American Girl doll, she settled for a fake from Target as the real ones are a bit more expensive. She said “It’s ok, I can love this one just as much” But I’d love to reward her thankfulness for what we are able to afford with a real doll!
I would LOVE to win one of these for my daughter. My step-daughter has one of these dolls and is always telling my daughter about it. The look of disappointment on my daughters face breaks my heart because these dolls are out of my budget. Please enter me to win. I am in PA, so, not in the Nashville area. Thanks!

OH, I forgot to mention, I also posted on the facebook page!
My niece goes to low income area communities to help do fund raisers at school functions. She like to help out and community plantings and even does fun raiser and walks for leukemia. She loves helping out in the community and she’s a true american girl . Her birthday is in 4 weeks.

My daughter makes a difference in the community by donating her gently used toys and clothes to the local battered women’s shelter. She will only be four in November, but she understands that by sharing her stuff, it will benefit another child that doesn’t have clothes and toys of their own.
I tweeted about the giveaway!

My 7-year-old daughter makes a difference in her school community by being kind and loving to all the kids-even those that are teased by others. She is kind and loving to all and I am aleays impressed with her! It has been noticed and appreciated at school by her principal and teachers and I am so proud of her. I am sadly not in Nashville…

The girl I would like to nominate has a huge heart of gold. She enjoys helping and playing with the younger kids at the child care center. She would drop anything to help someone. Through her Girl Scouts group and her 4-H group she has had the chance to reach out to others in our community and learn how amazing it is to help others. Her interests include music, horses, books, and making movies. She is a beautiful person and I am very proud to call her my daughter.

I would like to nominate my daughter who is 10. She is active in our church and Bible club. She’s always the first to befriend any visitors and rarely meets a stranger. This summer she’s befriended a relative of the neighbor’s who is visiting for the summer. It doesn’t bother her that he mainly speaks Spanish and she speaks very little. They’ve still became fast friends.
She’s also a help around the house and a big help with her little brother. She’s really big on making sure we compost everything possible. She’s also appointed herself in charge of recycling in our house. She’s a really good kid who would love an American Girl Doll.
I think my daughter is a very sweet little girl who would love this, she so helpful and fun to be around she has a heart of gold, I could not be more proud of her thanks for the chance to win eaglesforjack {at} gmail(.)com

My 5 year old daughter likes to help me out with finding coupons in the store, I am an avid boarderline psychotic couponer. We donate the things we can get for free or dirt cheap to the food pantry and people that we know that need things like food and shampoo ect. I love that she helps me out so much with finding the coupons she tends to spot ones I do not always see. I also think she is deserving of an American Girl doll because she is such a wonderful big sister to her 2 younger siblings, she has a 3 year old brother who she sometimes does not want to play little boy games with but does it anyway to make him happy and she has a 6 month old baby sister and when the baby was born she was awesome about playing with her little brother so that I could nurse the baby and now that the baby is getting bigger she loves helping out with feeding her baby food and helps out by playing with her when I need to do things like make dinner. We are getting ready to move and have some big changes in our life coming up in the next few weeks and she has been very understanding when we tell her that we are moving and since she is moving away from her friends I know it will be hard on her.

I would love to win one of these dolls for my little cousin!! She is such a great kid and last year at her birthday party she asked for people to bring toys to donate to kids in need instead of presents for her. She’s only 7 but she’s already an inspiration!! Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love, love, LOVE to win one for my daughter! She will be 5 in October and this is something I know she would adore! She makes a difference in our lives every day, reminding me that life is fleeting and beautiful and precious. She reminds me to be brave and fearless and dance when the music is playing, no matter who is watching.

I am NOT in the Nashville area.
I would give this to my 7 year old daughter. She has been diagnosed with epilepsy and could really use this surprise to brighten her day. Starting a new school year is so hard. What’s really neat is how she prays for everyone she knows with any type of sickness or disability.
My niece would love an American Girl doll. Her father is in the Army and is currently in Iraq. It’d be a wonderful surprise to put a smile on her face.
Even though she misses her father, she still donates her time to her library and donates gently used clothes and toys to the Children’s Hospital and Salvation Army.
I would love for my daughter to win this! She is always thinking of others and willing to help with any church, school or family service or fundraiser. She loves to make others happy and is very kind to her sisters!
My 6 year old would love this doll! She is always drawing pictures for me or her grandparents and it really brightens my day. She is very thoughtful.
I would really love to have the chance to win this adorable American Girl Doll for my precious little girl. She is a Dolly Doll girl and I know deep inside she would really be Happy!!

Thanks for hosting this promotion and giveaway!
I would like to nominate my 6 year old daughter, Rachel. Rachel is a sweet little girl who has a tender heart. She can’t stand to see someone hurting or suffering, especially me. I had an accident 3 years ago which resulted in a nerve disorder that has made me unable to walk and keeps me in pain 24/7/365. Rachel is always beside me to help in any way she can. She holds doors for me so I can maneuver in my wheelchair. She picks up things I have dropped, gets the mail for me, brings me snacks, takes care of the dog, and the list goes on and on and on. She comforted me when I had to retire from teaching after 14 years. She told me: “Even if you can’t go to your big school and teach the kids there, you can always teach me at home. See, you are still a teacher, my teacher.” What words of wisdom! I am continually amazed at how blessed I am to have this beautiful young lady as my daughter!She is definitely deserving of an American Girl Doll!

Hi American Girl Doll Fan! I have a little store (http://www.knitsforkids.etsy.com) where I make clothes and accessories, e.g. I hand knit and crochet flip flops, sweaters, hats, etc. for the American Girl doll. Please come and check it out…
i really wish i could make a bigger difference. But my girls helps me
around the house, when her sister makes their room
messy, all she
can do is clean it up. Cleaning the house is what im usally doing, and my girls really help me! And help me with the younger kids. Together, with their friends,
the girls had sleepovers to make baby blankets to donate.
They help our church and in the future they want to help at our local animal shelter!
So i think Erica ( the older girls dont care for dolls) would be pleased by the doll, she has been asking for one and her birthday is in two months.
Please, I would like to pick my 9 year old girl, Anna beacause we don’t evan have enough to get her a rabbit for 10 dollars, or pay her alowance! She has read American Girl cataloges her whole life! She’d be excided to have a doll, and i would thank you a milllon thank beacause we barly have money now to buy Christmas presant! Are only hope is to raise us some money. ) ”
